What Does Partnership Mean to VR&E?
Partnership between the
Department of Veterans Affairs
and Department of Labor
exists on a national as well as
local level. VR&E Service and
Veterans Employment and
Training Service (VETS) work together
in partnership to provide direct
job service to Ch31 participants.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
and Department of Defense
formed a close partnership in
1991 that addresses the adjustment needs of disabled service
men and women through the Disabled Transition Assistance
Program (DTAP). This partnership affords disabled servicemembers
access to VR&E at an early point of transition from military
to civilian occupations.
The Compensated Work Therapy Program of Veterans Health
Administration and VR&E partnership works by bringing
transitional and permanent jobs to veterans who may be
returning to the workforce following medical rehabilitation.
For eligible veterans this partnership can provide vocational
rehabilitation that combines work and training for new job
skills.
What Do VR&E Partners Do?
Partners provide a variety of important services in
combination with the VA vocational rehabilitation program
that can help with adjustment to disability in the work place,
enhance self-awareness, and connect people to employers.
